I don’t care what the team says (according to a Frei story today, SFW), I still want someone to beat the living crap out of Bertuzzi. The fact that nobody has is just flat out wrong.

The fact that he’s allowed to play in the NHL is wrong. His punishment was a sham, and he’s been allowed to go on making an extremely good living for himself as if nothing ever happened. He should have been banned from playing professional hockey (if that’s even possible to do? Certainly the NHL). Every sport has a certain player’s code, and I’m pretty sure it’s always been understood that you DO NOT END ANOTHER PLAYER’S CAREER. Everytime I think about him, I want to personally harm him while his tearful “apology” plays on a loudspeaker overhead. Unbelievable that people have taken a “Eh, that was a long time ago, get over it” approach to the situation. Probably because Steve Moore wasn’t a star player.

My response

is “if you’re brother had his neck broken by a cowardly attack from behind, would you say the same thing?”

I don’t care for the W. I want to see Bertha and Phadouche lined up against Parker. Unlikely, as he’s currently kicking ass in the AHL. So I’ll settle for Lappy and the McC’s.
Maybe Sakic wants to have another go at punching the living crap out of someone.

I'd love

to see Lappy rip Bertha apart.

I would love nothing more than to see Sakic check Phadouche into the boards. I’m thinking a nice photo, like the recent one of Tucker, insert Phadouche.

Oh, now THAT would make a great background

I'm pumped for this

But as always, it’s not on TV, so I’m relegated to the internet for helping me watch/listen to it.

I need to invest in NHL Gamecentre.

by Drakenlot on Oct 28, 2008 5:24 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

You really should.

20 bucks is a little much, I agree, but it comes with a FULL REPLAY ARCHIVE. I watch tons of Avs games now and occasionally will drop in on Eastern Conference teams I don’t usually get to see a lot of to familiarize myself with them. And to stalk Jay Bouwmeester.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Oct 28, 2008 5:29 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

It’s only 20 bucks per season? That’s not that expensive…. Unless it’s per month, then yeah that’s a bit much.

Go Avs!

by Mike, (Avs Fan) on Oct 28, 2008 6:18 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

It’s a month. You can pay one sum of money, I forgot the price now, for the package for the season that was probably less than what you’ll pay with 20 bucks every month for the entire season.

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Oct 28, 2008 6:25 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sucks

my 20 per month was done in their pre-season deal. I totally forgot about that. My bad =/

I saw that too. I was great to hear but Engblom is also an Avs homer. At this point in time, though, he is right. No one expected us to be 4th in the west (just under Detroit I believe).

Some guy ran into guite and tjarny at the mall — both are scratched tonight, btw — and told them he wished Guite played on the 3rd instead of Arny to laughs and agreement from the players. hilarious.

I couldn’t get myself to watch it.

I saw that Into The Blue piece of trash with Paul Walker that was basically intended to sell because it featured “beautiful people” in very little clothing. She’s just awful.

when i realized the first 30 minutes were about their damn wedding and the silver surfer was only in about 30 minutes of the movie.

The Altiboobs keep going on and on how stellar the defenses have been tonight. They apparently can announce with thier eyes closed because the Flames have had some ridiculously high quality chances (especially in the 1st) but a combination of a well-positioned Boots and Flame-outs who can’t hit the broadside of a barn have kept a gooseegg on the board. Even that ‘rebound’ save for Boots was dicey cuz it was an odd-man rush that should never have happened. Nobody picked up the trailer, and Wolski was the closest guy to the slot. Where were the D?

Also, the Av’s D keeps activating to push the puck down low, but nobody shoots when they get there, they just dump in behind the net, usually turning it over because the forwards aren’t there yet.

Still

 it’s a goal that should not have happened, for various reasons.

The least of which was Boots, IMO, but I’m biased.

I don't know

Don’t get me wrong, I love Boods, but he’s always had problems keeping his left foot flush with the post.

by Drakenlot on Oct 28, 2008 9:50 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah

not Buds best, but i wouldn’t qualify it as soft. That’s a normal, average goal IMO

I believe in Peter Budaj

I thought his skate was there and the puck got up higher. Still, the Flames player came off the wall, if Boots hasn’t loaded up the leg to push across and gets beat on the far post wrap-around, you’d castrate him for that too…

Avs have 1 shot to Calgary’s 7. Avs not getting it done.

2-0

… from Baby Bourque. Avs have had one shot in the last 25 minutes according to the CGY announcers.

by Andrew_in_Seattle on Oct 28, 2008 9:47 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

It's true

They are playing horribly bad this period

by Drakenlot on Oct 28, 2008 9:47 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, at least we know what happens when we get an Avs team that plays like the first three games of the season and a Budaj that plays like the last three…

The fact the Avs defensemen can’t contain offense behind the net will NOT be mentioned in any of the write-ups tomorrow. Instead, the so-called ‘soft’ 2nd goal with be all the evidence the jury needs to convict Budaj in the court of misinformed opinion…

Personally

I wouldn’t call it a ‘soft’ goal, but a ‘weak’ goal. If that makes any sense.

by Drakenlot on Oct 28, 2008 9:55 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Eh

average, in my book.

The Avs are just letting the Flames set up shop behind the net.

It’s a good test for Boods tonight. He needs to get more pressure to really know what he’s made of, no?

Red Wings Suck

by texacogirl on Oct 28, 2008 10:00 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Silver lining

I’d give him a solid B tonight. That second goal wasn’t egregious, and the other two he had no chance.

He made the saves he needed tow.

I give Arnason a solid D-

by Jibblescribbits on Oct 28, 2008 10:03 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

He’s not even close to solid on D :P

by texacogirl on Oct 28, 2008 10:04 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm still on the fence

for the second goal.

Most of the blame is on the d for that, but Boods should’ve been more flush with the post.
It looks like he lets his arm get in the way, causing a gap to form.

I don’t know, Bourque was starting to go behind the net and then reversed to wrap the puck around.

Just saw a replay, Budaj’s stick actually lifted the puck over his pad….very bad break.

Wow

what a disaster. I’ll take the blame for the loss because my leaving mid-game clearly through the equilibrium off and caused the ice to tilt towards Calgary. If there are hockey gods, they were smiting me. If you guys want to prank call my hotel all night, I won’t blame you =[

My superstitious past is mercilessly stalking me. I try not to believe in it, but I can’t help but feel like leaving the game when things weren’t a disaster helped cause the fiasco that was the third period.
